EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical drawing is a captivating representation of Crinum macowanii, formerly known as Amaryllis belladonna, or the Cape Coast Lily. Created by the Dutch artist Robert Jacob Gordon between 1777 and 1786, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich natural heritage of the African continent. Gordon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the lily's delicate pink flowers, which bloom atop a tall stem adorned with vibrant green leaves. The drawing also showcases the bulb and roots of the plant, providing a comprehensive understanding of its structure. The artist's use of chalk on paper and pencil creates a striking contrast between the softness of the petals and the rough texture of the stem and leaves. The drawing is a beautiful example of the Dutch tradition of botanical illustration that flourished during the eighteenth century. Originally from South Africa, Crinum macowanii is a deciduous plant that thrives in the low countries. Its large, bell-shaped flowers are a popular sight along the Cape coast, making it a beloved symbol of the region. This drawing is a precious addition to the vast collection of heritage art at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world as observed by European artists during the Age of Discovery.
